Madison accepted my stepson as an open enrollment student and has worked with him even through some behavioral problems. His teacher, the principal and all the staff have been wonderful to work with and have not given up on a child who would have been easy to give up on.

As a mother with 2 children in this school I think it is fantastic! I even get a boundry exemp just so my girls can attend. Mrs. Edman is a very dedicated principal. Always looking at the best for her students. She knows each one by name as well as their parents. I have nothing but rave reviews
... Read more for the teachers, nurses, and office staff. Madison is a title 1 school and has done beautifully in standardized testing. Every year the scores are on the rise. Classroom control is wonderful in all the classes that my girls have been in. This school does nothing but teach independance and self disapline. As far as the second grade homework I feel it is easy. My daughter can do it in a matter of 10 min. But of course we cannot forget the reading for a whole 15 min a day. Read less

I wouldn't believe the positive reviews here. I have two boys in this school now and I can relate to all the negative comments. Decipline problems, communication problems, favoring children who don't need help and alienating children who need help and putting them in special 'behavioral' classes that

My second grader gets so much homework that he can't catch up even spending 3 hours a day with me. My older son 'broke the rules' by throwing a football during recess. Beware! Beware of the canned 'positive' responses. Read less

The teachers receive a D- for communication. They don't return phone calls, don't send home notes when warranted, and their email system is virtually non-existent.

My daughter attended Madison and I will never have her go back there, I feel that most of the staff teacher's and principal are more interested in themselves and playing power trips then their students. I did not feel like they truly cared about my daughter's well being or any other child's, I felt that
